Located in the Shangcheng District of Hangzhou City, the former site of Weng Longsheng Tea House is a historical landmark. Constructed in 1925, this five-story building is a western-style villa that showcases a blend of architectural styles. The exterior is designed in the European classical style, while the interior is adorned with Chinese elements, all within a brick-wood structure. A distinctive feature of the building is the registered trademark of a ‘lion ball’ on the lintel.
Founded during the Qing Dynasty’s Yongzheng period, Weng Longsheng Tea House is famous for its specialty in Hangzhou West Lake Longjing tea. Visitors are welcome to explore the exterior of the building at any time of the day. However, the specific business status of the tea house is dependent on the day’s opening conditions.
